Preseason Game #5:FIRE vs. Houston 2/16/13 4:00pm (chicago-fire.com)

No tweets from the Fire since the stream went down.

 

I could have been mistaken, but I thought it was a Pause backpass to Nyarko, then a Nyarko backpass to nobody in particular that led to that.

Either way. Those two don't seem to be clicking

 

And now we're up 2-1 according to Jeff Crandall. MacDonald in the 24th, Duka in the 27th.

 

WTF. Stream comes back and it's 2-1 Chicago?!?!?

 

Stream is back, Segares down injured.

 

This doesn't look good.

 

its a conspiracy. no way those two actually scored. they're both terrible

 

He was down awhile. Hopefully it's not serious.

 

Nice touch from Duka there

 

Duka has looked pretty decent from what I've seen. He might be a keeper.

 

Duka's had quite a few good touches so far. Nothing spectacular, but very good

 

Anibaba on for Sega. He goes to RB, Pause goes to LB

 

Anibaba in for Segares. Pause moves to left back.

 

Damnit. Players dropping left and right.

 

This is preseason, guys. Stop with the injuries!

 

I really like Lindpere. Was a fan when he was in NY.

 

according to Jeff Crandall, there will be video highlights of the goals. I was hoping it was just the broadcast rather than the video that went down.

 

good save on Rolfe's header
Big Red gets the goal from the corner

 

Big Red 3-1 Fire.

 

Rolfe with a header saved off the crossbar. Great cross by Anibaba.

3-1 off the corner. Larentowicz with the header.

 

I've missed all of the goals in this game. The feed froze on me just before the corner and then it comes back when the players are walking back to the center circle.

 

Is it just me or are we playing really narrow? It seems I see Nyarko and Duka picking up the ball inside of the edges of the box a lot. Seems like only the FBs are wider than that
